I finally begin my legendary run through on legendary after a long break. I start on Arcadia and everything is going good. i got a good strategy and I'm at 7 minutes left and a group of people are going into the transport and it just blows up. The ship is full health the people are as well. There are no covies in the area.But it just explodes as soon as the people board. Wouldn't be a problem if i hadn't saved right before this happened. Anyone know why the hell it's doing this?

If you're watching the people board and then watching it explode, then yes, it's the Skull.  As I understand it, the game thinks that they die when they board the transport, and the Boomstick skull adds a random chance of having things explode when they die...

It's really rather fun, except for the arcadia city thing.

How do I turn off the boom stick skull and how do I get the skull?  I have to look in to this.  I am having the same problem as you are Michael, but after reading the comments/replies.  I'll see if the boomstick skull is on.  

 Thanks for the tips everyone!! 

I am having my problem with Arcadia City early on this level.  At the start of that level, I go and save people from being attacked and then the transports appears afterwards.  I, immediately head towards Transport 3 and clear every covies around the area, then a group a people would head for that transport and before they get on.  It takes off and gets blown up.  It does this every time I start this level and it's is bothering me.  Is it because I'm on easy level and not on normal?  I'm going to change my difficulty and see if this effects it or not.  I'm a bit puzzled on this level. Love the game, but this level is driving me crazy sort of speak.  LOL

 Oh btw, I checked the skull to see if boomstick is activated.  It is not selected, but I do have the skull.  Would it still affect the game even though it is not selected?  I doubt it, but.. 

umm if you mean mission 4 then is it when the guy goes "screw the evac" or something like that? if so then theres nothing you can do about it no 3 dies what ever you do just so long as you keep 1 of the 3 alive then the mission is passed anyway.

yeah cargo 3 is supposed to die
